The following code



begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.9]
begin{axis}[name=plot1, xlabel=clusters,colormap/blackwhite,legend style=
{at={(0.95,0.95)}}]
addlegendimage{empty legend}
addlegendentry{Metrics}
addplot+[smooth]
coordinates{(2,21794) (3,11876) (4,7336) (5,5108) (6,3882) (7,2990)};
addlegendentry{a}
addplot+[smooth]
coordinates{(2,7.065608) (3,9.884279) (4,12.97898) (5,15.89754) (6,18.82487)
(7,21.34288)};
addlegendentry{b}
end{axis}
end{tikzpicture}


produces the picture:



enter image description here



As we can see, the curves are very different in magnitude and so the trend of red curve seems to be constant. How can I draw these two curves with different scales?

This is not a complete answer. The following code just demonstrates how you can plot graphs in two different axes.



documentclass[border=3mm]{standalone}
usepackage{pgfplots}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.9]
pgfplotsset{every axis legend/.style={
anchor= west,
draw=none,}
}

begin{axis}[name=plot1, xlabel=clusters,colormap/blackwhite,
y tick label style={blue},
legend style= {at={(0.78,0.55)}},
]
addplot[smooth,mark=*,blue]
coordinates{(2,21794) (3,11876) (4,7336) (5,5108) (6,3882) (7,2990)};
addlegendentry{a}
end{axis}

begin{axis}[name=plot2, axis y line*=right, axis x line=none,
xlabel=clusters ,colormap/blackwhite,
y tick label style={red},
legend style= {at={(0.78,0.45)}},
]
addplot[smooth,mark=square*,red]
coordinates{(2,7.065608) (3,9.884279) (4,12.97898) (5,15.89754) (6,18.82487) (7,21.34288)};
addlegendentry{b}
end{axis}
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}

    You could use a semilogyaxis.



    documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]{standalone}
    usepackage{pgfplots}
    pgfplotsset{compat=1.16}
    begin{document}
    begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.9]
    begin{semilogyaxis}[name=plot1, xlabel=clusters,colormap/blackwhite,legend style=
    {at={(0.95,0.6)}}]
    addlegendimage{empty legend}
    addlegendentry{Metrics}
    addplot+[smooth]
    coordinates{(2,21794) (3,11876) (4,7336) (5,5108) (6,3882) (7,2990)};
    addlegendentry{a}
    addplot+[smooth]
